Hey all!
I saw a thread at one point about baby carriers, but couldn’t find it again for whatever reason. Anyway, have any of you used the [name_u]Baby[/name_u] K’tan wrap? I’m curious what people think of it. Good things? Bad things? I don’t really like the idea of having to learn to wrap a huge piece of fabric which is why the K’tan intrigued me. Thoughts on any other carriers?
I just got the K’[name_m]Tan[/name_m] in the other day. [name_u]Haven[/name_u]'t got to mess with it yet, will let you know when I do.
I have a [name_m]Moby[/name_m] wrap, which I loved when my baby was little. I think she’s getting to be on the upper side of the weight limit :(. I know woven wraps can hold heavier babies, but I haven’t looked into those at all. I also have an ergo 360 which is pretty nice for bigger kids (and you can get an infant insert). My only complaint is that I still haven’t figured out how to put it on by myself, so it doesn’t work great for around the house.
I have a K’tan. I like fabric. It’s like a nice soft T-shirt. You can make the part that goes over your shoulder kind of wide almost like a short sleeve, which makes it more comfy. The baby seemed to like it. The weight limit is a bit exaggerated, though. I stopped using it when my baby was a bit under a year, and that was pushing it as far as being comfortable because the back support is just not enough.
It was the best around 1- 6 months old. When my son was a newborn I was a little too nervous about blocking his airway to use it, but when he was a bit stronger but still very small it was really great.
Thank you all for the responses!
@shalexis: Did you find learning how to wrap the [name_m]Moby[/name_m] difficult? Also, does it have the long tail of fabric, or do you wrap it completely up? I can guarantee I will get a long tail of fabric caught in things or get it grabbed by one of our dogs. lol
@lovewn: Did your baby seem pretty secure with the K’tan? That’s probably my biggest concern. It looks awesome, but I would be nervous that it wouldn’t be snug enough since you can’t control that other than by what size you buy. Also, did you find the size pretty true?
He was secure. It fit as expected.
Good to know. Thank you for your input.

I don’t think it’s hard at all. It comes with a diagram, and I’m sure there are lots of youtube videos. It is super long while you’re putting it on, so I always tried to do it before I left the house, but you wrap it and tie it and it isn’t all dangly or anything. Sorry to get back to you so late, I just saw this!
No big deal. =] I appreciate the feedback!
